Sheffield Court

[RichardB]

Sheffield Court from a daguerreotype by Fehrenbach: While many of the courts or departments into which the Exhibition is divided, contain specimens of goods manufactured in various parts of the empire, the Sheffield Court is exclusively appropriated to the manufactures of the "metropolis of steel", in the manufacture of which, and of tools and cutlery, she stands unrivalled.

[RichardB]

Fire grate by Stuart and Smith, Sheffield: It is made upon the principle known as Sylvester's, which effectually counteracts the disadvantages of the old system - the heat of the fire in this case being thrown into the apartment, and not, as in the common stove, up the chimney.

Principal exhibits of the 1851 Great Exhibition.
